Define requirements & Plan

Considering the purpose set on Week 1, we determine the concept, target and contents (requirements) of the app. To define requirements is a step in order to clarify which functions or contents will be required. Once they come clear, it is easier to estimate or create image designs.(Week 1 – 3)

Decide functions and specifications & Start to design

After deciding the functions and design of the app in details, we get into development phase. Reviewing all the previous steps, we prepare for the best development system to meet all your needs with the greatest care.(Week 3 – 8)

STEP4

Test, Brush up & Release

Before releasing the application, we test it. While you test the beta version, we brush up and improve the application. After that, we make the final adjustment setting of the traffic analysis tool or putting ads inside the app. When we receive your final conformation, we realize the application. (In case of iPhone, when the screening process by Apple is over)(Week 9 – 11)
